[PATCH master] ubifs: fix crash building without decompressors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When building barebox with ubifs support, but without decompressors
enabled, we run into a NULL pointer dereference:

  BUG: failure at lib/string.c:249/strncmp()!

This is because the loop in crypto_alloc_comp iterates over all possible
decompressors and then accesses comp->capi_name, which will be NULL for
unusable decompressors. Add a NULL check to handle this gracefully.
A check for alg_name isn't needed because it's already checked in
compr_init.
